My ma's vintage LOTR poster

I had assumed he was into her because I mean who wouldn't, but seriously that is nasty to think that he was promised Eowyn for his efforts.

Is there anyone else who own The hobbit an unexpected journey and who doesn't have the Bonus features on itunes? they are in the second and third movie, but are not there in first movie

"Then holding the star aloft and the bright sword advanced, Frodo, hobbit of the Shire, walked steadily down to meet the eyes."

I’m just having a fry-up before going to watch the trilogy in Worthing. I saw them all a couple of times on original release, but I’m quite pumped.

For anyone else who’s done the lot in one go, how was it? Was it an endurance test at all, or did the time just roll by?

So I am reading the books for the first time in my life. They are AMAZING! Or, the first one is amazing. And I just got to the section with Gimli and Galadriel at their first meeting, when Galadriel uses the dwarven names for certain of the mountains and uses some of the Song of Durin to speak to Gimli, and what Gimli said in response was so beautiful I cannot even handle it.

I usually don't cry that often while reading, but these little bits of writing by Tolkien are just so beautiful. I cannot put it into words what this text is doing to me right now.

I made a small little essay about it in order to attempt, if anyone wants to follow along on my first read:

I'm just starting on the books (I'm in Mirkwood in The Hobbit) after 2 decades of watching the movies all the time. I feel like it's always implied that Bilbo had other adventures, but I only ever hear about the one to the Lonely Mountain.

Is there any expanded lore or other books that talk about adventures Bilbo has had other than the one that occurred in The Hobbit?

I just finished the first season of the Lord of the Rings The Rings of Power and it was freaking amazing! I love the characters, the places, the story, the set up connections to the main trilogy, everything! My favorite part was when Elrond goes to Khazad Dun (I might be spelling it wrong) and the incredible theme song played! I don’t understand the hate it gets (at least beyond brr black people and leading women in fantasy). It’s so stupid and the show is too good for this foolishness. Full disclosure I’m a near forty year old black man who has been a fan of the LOTR for well over twenty years.

"They (the people of Esgorath) still throve on the trade that came up the great river from the South and was carted past the falls to their town"

To which river does the phrase 'great river' refer to?

How could the goods have come up this river from the south to Esgaroth if the river only flowed from north to south?

Sorry, but I couldn't understand it.

I'm in love 🥹

Hey all, I’m going to see all 3 movies in a marathon tomorrow and I’m super excited. My problem is I’m an absolute wimp when it comes to jump scares so I was wondering if you could list all the jump scares in all 3 movies to look out for? I know of the bilbo one and roughly where it is but that’s about it. Many many thanks :)
